Air Floated Kaolin
SNOBRITE®
SNOBRITE® air floated kaolin is a highly effective functional filler for a range of polymer applications. It is engineered to offer several performance and economic benefits.
Product Highlight
Kaolin is a soft white clay commonly used as a polymer filler in manufacturing various products. It naturally occurs as the mineral kaolinite, which forms small, hexagonal, platy crystals that appear flat and flaky. Snobrite’s platy structure enhances reinforcement in plastic and rubber compounds while ensuring excellent compatibility.
Kaolin’s light-scattering properties mimic those of more expensive opacifiers, making SNOBRITE air floated kaolin a cost-effective alternative. Additionally, it provides effective titanium dioxide spacing and serves as a cost-efficient rheology modifier, offering natural plasticity and thixotropic behavior to optimize a product’s physical flow.

Filler, extender
Plastics compounds, rubber and elastomers
Kaolin is naturally highly platy and absorbent, so SNOBRITE air floated kaolin reduces permeability, enhancing protection against environmental conditions.
SNOBRITE’s natural properties ease dispersion, ensuring uniform distribution within polymer systems and enhancing consistency and performance.
SNOBRITE air floated kaolin improves processing efficiency by allowing precise viscosity and flow characteristics.
SNOBRITE air floated kaolin acts as an effective TiO2 extender, improving whiteness and coverage in plastics and polymer formulations.
SNOBRITE air floated kaolin acts as a cost-effective polymer filler, adding bulk and strength to products while allowing manufacturers to manage costs.
Transform your coatings into brilliant and opaque finishes while extending the use of TiO2, thanks to the opacifying properties of SNOBRITE air-floated kaolin.
Plastics
In plastic production, particularly for polyolefins and nylon compounds, SNOBRITE enhances mechanical properties, dimensional stability and surface appearance, leading to improved performance in both consumer and industrial plastic products.
Elastomer and rubber compounds
SNOBRITE air floated kaolin enhances reinforcement, improves abrasion resistance and increases flexibility and mixing efficiency due to its high oil absorption properties. This makes it a preferred rubber filler for tires, hoses, seals and other industrial rubber and elastomer products.
